Cut the self-managed stack over to the in-house Cassandra chart and image #340

Description

@nvjmcnamee

Description

The self-managed stack (deploy/stacks/self-managed) still deploys Cassandra through the old Bitnami-wrapping chart and the bitnami-cassandra image. PR #328 ships the in-house chart (helm-nvcf-cassandra) and the infra/cassandra runtime image. This task repoints the stack at them.

Two files change:

  • helmfile.d/01-dependencies.yaml.gotmpl: update the cassandra release's pinned version: to the helm-nvcf-cassandra release that CI publishes for the Bitnami removal. The version is assigned by release automation (registered subproject, tag helm-nvcf-cassandra-v*), not hand-set. The chart reference is unchanged - it already resolves to nvcf/helm-nvcf-cassandra.
  • global.yaml.gotmpl cassandra: values - remap from the old chart's schema to the new chart's:
    • Runtime image: bitnami-cassandra becomes the nvcf-cassandra image (infra/cassandra).
    • Drop the value blocks the new chart does not consume: the old chart's separate init image (initialization.image, currently alpine-k8s), its dynamicSeedDiscovery.image, and global.security.allowInsecureImages.
    • Migrations image (nvcf-cassandra-migrations): keep - the new chart runs both the init and migration hooks from it.
    • storageClass: no change. The new chart reads global.defaultStorageClass, which the stack already emits via global.storageClass.
    • Confirm resourcesPreset, replicaCount, nodeSelector, and tolerations map onto the new chart's values.

Definition of Done

  • The stack deploys Cassandra from helm-nvcf-cassandra + infra/cassandra; no bitnami-cassandra image or old-chart references remain.
  • The emitted cassandra: values match the new chart's schema, with no dead old-chart-only keys.
  • The stack installs and upgrades end-to-end on a validation cluster: Cassandra reaches Ready, init and migrations complete.
